     THEODORE SCHOMMER, assistant manager of the Albers Brothers Milling 
Company, of Portland, is a man of great energy and ripe judgment and commands 
the respect of all who have been associated with him. Born in Winona, 
Minnesota, on the 16th of April, 1883, he is a son of John and Anna (Decker) 
Schommer, the former now deceased and the latter still living in Minnesota. 
Theodore Schommer obtained a good public school education and he received his 
initial business experience as a clerk in a grocery store. In 1908 he came to 
Portland and secured employment with the Albers Brothers Milling Company, with 
which concern he has been connected to the present time. His first work was in 
handling trucks, while later he was promoted through various positions, and 
for fourteen years served as a traveling salesman. For several years he has 
held the position of assistant manager, for the duties of which his previous 
experience had well qualified him, and he is now one of the most valuable men 
in the company's employ.

     On October 18, 1905, Mr. Schommer was united in marriage to Miss Hazel 
Boynton, of Winona, Minnesota, and they are the parents of three children, 
Delphine, Irene and Patrick. Mr. Schommer is a member of the Portland Rotary 
Club, the Progressive Business Men's Club, the Chamber of Commerce, in which 
he has done effective committee work, and the Oregon Manufacturers 
Association, of which he is first vice president. A man of excellent personal 
qualities, cordial and friendly in his social relations and consistent in his 
life and conduct, he has proven worthy of the esteem in which he is held by 
all who know him.
